CHICKEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATOES AND COCONUT MILK



Chicken Curry With Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk image

I used to think the only reason to buy a whole chicken was to actually cook it whole. Why buy one for a recipe calling for parts when the supermarket will cut up the bird for you? Then one day my mother set me straight. It's one thing to buy a package of thighs or drumsticks when you need a specific part, but you might as well cut up your own bird if you need a variety. You can use your cut-up chicken to make this ginger-and-lime-scented curry with coconut milk, sweet potatoes and chiles. Or substitute your favorite part, be it wings or legs or bone-in breasts. The bright, spicy and gently sweet flavors work well with any pieces of fowl in the pot. When the chicken in this recipe is nearly done braising, you can fry up the liver, then coat it in some of the luscious sauce. If your mother is anything like mine, she'd be proud.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons peanut, safflower or vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated (1 1/2 tablespoons)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 to 2 jalapeno or Serrano chiles, to taste, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can coconut milk
2 medium sweet potatoes (1 pound), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3/4 cup coconut flakes
1 tablespoon black or brown mustard seeds
Fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil. Brown chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden all over, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Stir scallion, ginger, garlic and chiles into pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and sweet potatoes. Arrange chicken pieces on top of potatoes, placing breast meat on top. Pour in enough water to come halfway up the sides of chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast coconut flakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds and toast until they begin to pop, 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to a platter. Return Dutch oven to the stove and simmer over medium-high heat until cooking liquid has thickened to a saucelike consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with the coconut and mustard seed mixture and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes. This recipe calls for a combination of orange and purple sweet potatoes, but you can use any type of sweet potato you like. Garnet yams or Japanese sweet potatoes would both be delicious in this salad.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. The curry powder is the key to the flavor of this salad, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices. This recipe is a good starting point, but you can adjust the spices to your liking. If you like a spicier salad, add more curry powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder salad, reduce the amount of curry powder or omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Make the salad ahead of time. This salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

This curried sweet potato chicken salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
